The stock torque spec should be fine for those little ones. I'd use 22lbft...its a small bolt.

I just did the exact same thing with stripping out a bolt and i put arp head studs in and torqued the little ones to 25ft psi. those dam alumium threads can't take much abuse.

Studs themselves should be torqued to 5 ft. lbs.
The nuts on the studs should be 65 ft. lbs. for an aluminum block and 70 ft lbs for an iron block as per ARP instructions.
